Grilling, Camping, Summer

This week is going to be a fun week. We’re grilling in the beginning of the week and camping in the middle through to early next week.

Ok, so story time. The goal last week was to get the pergola/outdoor kitchen area completed and ready by the little’s birthday party/Father’s Day. I also knew I was going to get a smoker and a flattop grill for the hubby for Father’s Day. That’s been the goal for the past few Father’s Days, but we never had the designated space for it. Plus, other than the grill, I wasn’t sure what kind of smoker he wanted. Wood burning? Pellets? Charcoal? Too many options… So when we did a quick run up to Lowes to get some last minute stuff, I had him take a walk through the grill section. I showed him the options that I liked for him and he went with what I had as the number one……plus it was on sale! So yesterday when he was sleeping for work, I had my mother in law watch the boys so I could run up and pick them up. My original goal was to have them assembled and ready in the outdoor kitchen/pergola area, but the kids could not wait to go fishing. So, a 10 minute story later, he is super excited and will be smoking and grilling on Monday night with some friends.

Anyways, here’s the menu I’ve come up with to get me through marathon training, feed 3 guys, and enjoy while camping.
